Scottish Unionism is bad for Scottish families and communities. The British have always seen Scotland as a nation to be put up with rather than respected.

This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition,

The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance

Iconic imo

Reform UK has attracted more than 20 former Conservative MPs, leading the Tories to argue that his party is full of “has-been politicians looking for their next gravy train".
Scotland hates Tories 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
The CONform party.
Reform is basically the Tory party then 🙄🖕👇

Come on #snp do the same in Scotland
Wales is moving closer to political change that could set a global example. Lawmakers are discussing rules that would punish politicians who deliberately lie to the public. The plan focuses on Members of the Senedd & aims to bring real consequences when trust is broken.
Scotland should do similar.

SLAB are paying online bots to up their social media engagement.

This really reeks of desperation & it comes coincidently after Sarwar himself said he would be “unleashing the most sophisticated and largest digital operation of any party in Scotland''.

I apologise that I placed an article with a made up quote without the consent of the person attributed approval, on our election leaflets.
It was not my fault as as it was checked and verified by the Labour Party .
I just do as told .

Problem with BBC ‘corrections/apologies’ is folk already believe the misinformation about the Scottish government or SNP and this one hidden away somewhere and three months later does nothing to rectify the situation.
BBC/MSM misinformation up to May won’t be corrected before the HR2026.

You can't even say that this is just a case of 'Lazy journalism' it is clear & unambiguous that the BBC will do & say anything in order to discredit the SNP in the eyes of the voting public who are their viewers.
This is just one of many 'corrections' lately.

Starmer in Scotland today!

In just last 24 hours:

Sarwar caught making up fake SNPBad quotes.

Michael Shanks rapped by standards authorities for lying about SNHS stats. Is refusing to delete the tweet.

Labour in Wales caught fixing WNHS stats to make them look good.

Labour are in trouble.
